Meet Sadie!
Finally, we have our own wonderful Great Pyrenees guard dog, but additionally, she is also a sweet, mature female that loves people and especially the children. She is also very tolerant of the Icelandic sheepdogs and is gentle with them -- and the cats! Sadie joined our family in September 2009. She came to us from our dear friends Wayne and Anthea Thacker of Oklahoma. We are smitten with Sadie. And I think you can tell by the photos here, that after just a week with us, that Sadie is fitting in just fine.
Above you can see Sadie with our Fiona getting a belly rub. What we are loving about our wonderful Sadie is that she has all of the instincts and desire to be a working guard dog, but is extremely gentle with people and especially children. She is happy to play with the children or head out to patrol her fields. We love this dog!
